*Dropbox.com: tired of emailing files to yourself so you can access them from another location? Try this online backup site, where you can store up to 2 gigabytes for free. Install the software on two computers & the site will keep them in sync. Works interchangeably with a Mac, a PC, or a mobile phone.
*Renttherunway.com: if you don't want to spend $$$ on a dress you'll wear once, maybe twice, sign up (for free) at this clothing-rental site. Generally, rentng a piece from a designer like Herve' Le'ger, Catherine Malandrino, or Tibi costs about 10% of the retail price, which means you can score a $1590 cocktail dress for $150-and that includes shipping both ways & dry cleaning.(To ensure a perfect fit, you can pick two sizes.)
*Jasmere.com: this group-buying site is similar to Groupon.com but focuses on discounted products from specialty retailers as opposed to community-centric deals. Once a slae on, say, art prints, beauty products, or sweet treats goes live, buyers have 24 hours to commit to purchasing. The more people who order, the higher the discount. When time is up, your credit card is charged the lowest price.
SMILE! & buy someone's breakfast, lunch or Starbucks today :)
